A huge thank you to David Goodfellow who spent the time to find us, we may now have someone very close to the Scarborough Yellow pages nest site that has some elevation (and very close to the peregrines winter roosting spot)!
While the first lot of photos that he has sent into us are not the most recent - (taken 2010, 2011 and 2012), they do show some great close-up views of Linn and her mate, in addition to some other very interesting regular avian visitors. He admits that he rarely see’s the grins in the summer time (as they are typically incubating and raising their hatchlings over at the Yellow pages building nest site). This observation and behaviour is very consistent to many of our other resident urban peregrines in that most of them have different fall and winter roosts, hunting areas and other hang-outs. While they are still very much “on territory” and watching and protecting the nest area’s very closely, they don’t spent allot of time on the nest ledges in the fall and winter months.
After seeing the first lot of peregrine photos, we can wait to see what else David has been able to capture on film! Great shots David!!
Other more recent observation reports of the Yellow pages pair, reports both resident adults are very much on site with lots of courtship activities going on!
Stay tuned……………
